About Us

Mom & Grandma

My maternal grandmother, Alice Wood Carter, and her daughter, Carolyn Carter Hansen, my mother, introduced me to the magic of astrology and the fascinating world of metaphysics.

I grew up reading American Astrology and Dell Horoscope magazines, and by the age of 12 I had a good working knowledge of Sun-sign astrology. I joined my Mother and Grandmother as a perpetual student of this ancient science and art, and will be forever grateful to them for this inter-dimensional, multi-faceted, ever-evolving gift.
